Don't go during the rush hours. They're still figuring everything out & the food isn't worth waiting 20 min in line. Now that I've tried it, won't be back for a while. -- Shannon De Buiser via Foursquare

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT !!! Sam Adams is releasing a 3rd Draught Beer Handle for the West Coast for the very first time. 5 Bars in Central Cali will be carrying it, and Draughts will be one of those bars. L -- Raj G. via Foursquare

This is a TO must. Old country feel...everyone gets a complimentary Swedish pancake, makes you want 8 more. My personal favorite is diced ham with scrambled eggs, been having it for years. Fun place -- Social News Network via Foursquare

Vegetarian dream! You can remove all meat, and it usually lowers the price!! The wait is usually pretty long, but they text you when your table is open, so you can shop while you wait =) -- Nicole Lynn via Foursquare

Bandits is amazing. End of story. But really, the best BBQ in Ventura County. If you want the true experience, order the Unbeatable sandwich. Fun place to watch games, plus the staff is so fun! -- Social News Network via Foursquare

Lemonade is a wonderful restaurant. Easy to order, kind staff, great seating choices, and delicious food. (Chicken pesto sandwich on whole wheat is out of this world.) I always leave full and happy. -- Eric Fields via Foursquare
